Consequently, efforts to optimize software release time and decision-making processes have become imperative. Software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have emerged as valuable tools in gauging software reliability, with researchers studying various factors such as change point and testing effort. However, uncertainties persist throughout testing processes, which are inherently influenced by human factors. Fuzzy set theory has emerged as a valuable tool in addressing the inherent uncertainties and complexities associated with software systems. Its ability to model imprecise, uncertain, and vague information makes it particularly well-suited for capturing the nuances of software reliability. In this research, we propose a novel approach that amalgamates change point detection, logistic testing effort function modeling, and triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) to tackle uncertainty and vagueness in software reliability modeling. Additionally, we explore release time optimization considering TFNs, aiming to enhance decision-making in software development and release planning.","PeriodicalId":14463,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of System Assurance Engineering and Management","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper investigates shovel utilization in surface mining using a novel smart platform integrated with the shovel operating joystick. It utilizes a unique algorithm to identify and differentiate operational and non-operational time based on comparing real-time data and average loading cycle time. This data is then employed to calculate overall uptime and identify downtime periods. A field study was carried out on six electric cable shovels consisting of P&H 2100 and TZ WK-12, at Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine. The analysis revealed that the average utilization of the whole fleet is equal to 33%, ranging from 16 to 48%, which is dramatically lower than the mine expectations. The statistical analysis showed that in 10–13% of the operating time, the utilization is higher than 75%, which is a moderately acceptable level. Finally, according to the outcomes of the field study and the developed smart platform, it could be concluded that improvements in dispatching system accuracy, revising the grade blending strategies, increasing processing plant flexibility and improved operator training could enhance shovel fleet utilization and whole mine productivity.","PeriodicalId":14463,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of System Assurance Engineering and Management","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bayes estimates are considered under squared error loss function (SELF) using gamma prior for the shape parameter and a discrete prior for the scale parameter. Asymptotic confidence and highest posterior density credible intervals have also been obtained for the model parameters and reliability characteristics. Optimal criteria is also employed to find the best censoring scheme among the considered censoring schemes.

Hence, when a vulnerability is reported, a requirement arises to patch it as early as possible. Generally, this process requires some time and effort. For proper channelizing of the efforts, a requirement comes to predict the severity of the vulnerability so that the more critical ones can be given a higher priority. Therefore, a need arises to build a model that can analyze the data available on vulnerabilities and predict their severity. The experiment of this study is conducted on vulnerability reports of five software of Mozilla. As the data is textual, text mining techniques are applied to preprocess the data and form feature vectors. This input as text creates very high dimensional feature vectors leading to the requirement of dimensionality reduction. Hence, feature selection is done using chi-square and information gain. To develop the classifier, seven machine learning algorithms are chosen. Hence, fourteen software vulnerability severity prediction models (SVSPM) are developed. The result analysis allowed us to find the best-performing SVSPM. It is concluded that the model performed better for the medium and the critical severity level of the vulnerability. Out of the two feature selection techniques, information gain gave better results. An optimum number of features is also determined at which SVSPM gave good results. The best SVSPM using a machine learning algorithm corresponding to each dataset is found as well. A comparison is also made to identify significant differences among various SVSPMs developed using Friedman and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test.","PeriodicalId":14463,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of System Assurance Engineering and Management","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141191020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent study undertaken by a variety of organizations reveals that food grain production is not keeping up with population growth. Many technocrats use wireless sensing networks to collect and analyze data to increase production; nevertheless, by focusing on general repair, they fall short of their goal. To avoid this problem and restore the broken system as soon as achievable, in this paper we have developed a reliability formula in a way that numerical solutions can be obtained systematically in a reasonable computational time for precision agriculture that makes use of the copula distribution. This paper aims to analyze the various reliability measures such as availability, reliability, mean time to failure, and cost analysis of a wireless computer network for precision agriculture made up of three subsystems in series configuration. Hazard rates of all the units are assumed to be constant and follow exponential distribution, while repair supports general distribution and copula distribution. The system is analyzed by supplementary variable technique, Laplace transformation and Gumbel-Hougaard copula distribution. This paper we have used a significant feature of copula distribution under catastrophic failure by assuming two different forms of failure between neighboring transitions from which one can check the behavioral analysis of the designed system. This research may be beneficial for precision agriculture whereas a k-out-of-n-type configuration exists.","PeriodicalId":14463,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of System Assurance Engineering and Management","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141190397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty CSFs are identified from literature and expert’s opinion. A survey was conducted through administration of designed questionnaire in Indian manufacturing industries and reliability of the factors was tested calculating Cronbach’s alfa (α) value for all responses. Thereafter, out of twenty CSFs, sixteen were found reliable. Further, these sixteen factors were analyzed employing Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) technique and leveled as per developed model. The MICMAC analysis is employed for determining driving and dependence power of CSFs. The developed model provides a platform for the practitioners/researchers to design a framework for successful implementation of LSS in view of current manufacturing paradigm of I4.0. On analyzing the data using ISM technique, the ‘Organizational culture and belief’, ‘Effective top management commitment and attitude’ and ‘Motivated and skilled manpower’ are observed to be the most significant CSFs which drive the path for proper implementation of LSS in Indian manufacturing industries. The developed model will enable the practitioners to draw the effective strategy for proper implementation of LSS in view of Industry 4.0. The results will give an edge to the management to think strategically for improvements in this competitive environment.","PeriodicalId":14463,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of System Assurance Engineering and Management","volume":"101-102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141190401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
